Nicolas is about to knock on the door of Eylaria's study when he hears a voice from inside the room, Arlo is there. Nicolas brought his ear to the door, eavesdropping on the boss' conversation with his assistant.
“I just calm you down..,”
“Hmm, sorry I misunderstood. But, I still do not accept, why am I forbidden to use skirts, while other female employees have the right to use them freely?” Eylaria asked.
Arlo sighed, embarrassed to say it, “I told you, your whites were exposed, even some male employees were talking about your white legs, did you know?”
“I don't care if they're just talking about me. I don't care..,”
“Lantas do you want to fish a sleeping lion?” Arlo asked frowned, not liking Eylaria to disobey.
“Lion? What lion?” Eylaria did not understand.
“Forget it....,” Reply Arlo immediately stepped out of the room Eylaria.
“Arhhh...., Nicolas, what are you doing on the doorstep?” Asked Arlo who was shocked by the appearance of his former assistant on the doorstep. Nicolas just smiles at Arlo and Eylaria alternately.
“Hmm..., no, I'm just looking for a lion...,” replied Nicolas smiling at Arlo.
“Lion?” Eylaria asked in confusion.
“Don't mind him.., you go to my room now..,” Said Arlo pulling Nicolas's arm to follow him.
“But I need to find..., llionaaaa...” Excited Nicolas deliberately making Arlo growl in annoyance and Eylaria just frowned in confusion.
Late Sunday night, Eylaria was standing in front of a restaurant, her eyes constantly watching the restaurant door, waiting for someone she was waiting for to come out of there. Tonight he wants to meet Dave.
Eylaria stomped her feet, she had been standing there for 20 minutes, the security guard standing nearby had approached her and questioned her need to stand there.
Eylaria let out a rude sigh, knowing that Dave was having dinner with his boss there after contacting one of Dave's coworkers whom he knew.
Eylaria called Dave again.., this is her 7th call after she had previously kept calling but not picked up at all.
“Eylaria?” If anyone recognizes him. Eylaria turned her head, Arlo greeted her.
“Mr. Arlo?” Sapa Eylaria was a little surprised because she did not expect to meet Arlo there.
“What are you doing here?” Arlo asked, watching Eylaria's appearance from top to bottom, the woman looked sweet with natural makeup and a light blue canal.
“I... waited for Dave, he was inside, eating with his boss.
“Why don't you wait inside? Isn't it cold outside?”
“Not comfortable, and he didn't know that I was coming..,”.
Arlo frowned, sighed violently, he felt annoyed at Eylaria like there was no self-esteem ‘begging’ to meet her ex.
“Let's go in...,” Take Arlo but Eylaria doesn't budge.
“Come in, I also have a dinner appointment inside..,” Exciting Arlo pulled Eylaria's wrist.
Arlo leads Eylaria through the restaurant's living room, and Eylaria's eyes comb the room looking for Dave.
“There....,” Excited Arlo who has already found it. Eylaria followed the direction Arlo pointed to, located at the corner table, there were several men and women there.
Eylaria squinted her eyes, making sure she didn't see wrong. Dave sits next to a woman he once knew as Dave's work teammate, but what's unnatural is that Dave's hands embrace the woman's shoulders and the distance between them is very close.
“Hah.., basic playboy.” Eylaria was upset after confirming her vision, it was fitting that she was cut off without clarity, it was Dave who was looking for fault with her. He then turned around, intending to leave the place, but his hand was still held by Arlo.
“Where are you going? Not so go near her?” Ask Arlo.
“No need..., such a man is not worth fighting for. I thought I was wrong, it turns out that he just bestowed the blame on me..,” Eylaria replied firmly.
“You've eaten?” Asked Arlo, Eylaria shook her head.
“Come, accompany me to eat.” Take Arlo and then pull Eylaria towards a VIP room not far from there without waiting for approval from Eylaria.
Arlo opened the door of VIP room 2, a voice sounded from within. Eylaria gasped in surprise, it seemed like it was a family dinner with 1 round table and again there was a birthday cake on the edge of the room that fit for the ten people. Eylaria pulled her hand from Arlo's grasp, hid her body behind Arlo's tall body and half whispered.
“Ikut eat first..,”
“This is your family event..” Replied Eylaria wanted to leave immediately from there, let alone a few gazes watching as they entered the room.
“It's okay...,” replied Arlo, then pulled Eylaria walking to the empty seat that was still left there. Eylaria who was not strong enough to withstand Arlo's energy, of course, was forced to follow by developing a forced smile on her lips.
“Yo yo yo.. Arlo bring a girl Mom..,” Excite a beautiful and fashionable young woman. His face was at first glance similar to Arlo's, Eylaria guessed it was Arlo's sister.
The only person Eylaria knew there was Papa Arlo, whom she had met while staying at Arlo's apartment. Eylaria smiled an awkward greeting at the man who was also just smiling at her at a glance.
“She's a good friend of Nicole Mom..” Reply Arlo.
Nicole? Eylaria just remembered, Nicole and Nicolas should also be present there, not that Eylaria was circulating her gaze around the room, but there was no figure of the two people there.
“If you are looking for Nicole and Nicolas, they are not present.
“Why?”
“This is my family's private event..,” Hearing Arlo's answer only made Eylaria sigh rudely.
“I have to go..., it is not worth being here...,” Press Eylaria on Arlo sitting next to her.
“What's your name?” Asked the middle-aged woman that Arlo had called Mom, the woman was white and blonde, obviously a Caucasian.
“Eylaria aunty...,” Eylaria replied smiling awkwardly.
“Seeing from your forced face, did my sister drag you here?” Ask the woman that Eylaria guessed Arlo's sister.
Eylaria smiled awkwardly hearing him, does it seem so obvious?
“Arlissa...,” Furious Arlo, turns out Arlissa the name of the young woman.
“I..., seems to have to go Om Aunt...” Excited Eylaria intends to leave, but her hand is still held by Arlo.
“Arlo has brought you here, eat first.” Papa Arlo.
“Dad, eat together.. Arlo will definitely take you because he wants to introduce you to us..” Mama Arlo said with a friendly smile.
“Tapii..,”
“According to you, you are very difficult to obey..,” Tegur Arlo began to get upset because Eylaria constantly wanted to leave.
Eylaria ate slowly, she felt awkward eating in the middle of the Arlo family, there were not many present, only Papa, Mama, Arlo's sister and also two other Caucasian women. Eylaria guessed the two women were Mama Arlo's sisters, especially since her face was similar and Arlo-Arlissa called them aunty. The two women spoke a foreign language that Eylaria did not understand and only smiled at Eylaria once in a while as they looked at her.
Eylaria swallowed her food with great difficulty, her body feeling nervous and uncomfortable, while Arlo unshakably continued to help her get food.
“Already, don't take it anymore...,” Reject Eylaria to feel ashamed at the Arlo family who occasionally noticed them.
“You only eat a little, where is full?” Omel Arlo looked at Eylaria firmly until another heard, aware that they were the center of attention, Eylaria immediately lowered her head in shame.
After dinner, they continued on to the summit, singing birthday songs and cutting cakes.
“Tante, happy birthday, I don't know Aunt's birthday.., I didn't bring any gift...” Said Eylaria congratulating Mama Arlo, the woman smiled, her face looked gentle and graceful.
“No matter my dear..., your presence is a gift for me..,” Mama Arlo replied stroking Eylaria's hand gently, she even hugged Eylaria, making the woman feel comfortable being there.
